Vascular intervention

About 37280: Tibial/peroneal angioplasty, straightforward lesion

Endovascular balloon angioplasty treats a straightforward lesion in an initial tibial or peroneal artery during lower-extremity revascularization.

This service uses an endovascular approach to widen a narrowed or occluded tibial or peroneal artery with balloon angioplasty. It is performed by vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, or interventional cardiologists treating peripheral artery disease, including limb ischemia. The procedure is generally performed in a hospital or endovascular suite, with imaging used to guide treatment of the target artery. This code identifies the straightforward-lesion angioplasty service for the initial treated artery in this territory; it is not the code for a stent or atherectomy procedure.

Select the code based on the treated arterial territory, the documented lesion classification, the treatment performed, and whether this is the initial or an additional artery treated. The operative report should identify the tibial or peroneal target and describe the intervention and lesion. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 for a bilateral procedure is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

37280 billing questions

How is 37280 different from 37281?

37280 is for angioplasty of the initial tibial or peroneal artery when the lesion is straightforward. Use 37281 for the qualifying additional artery in the same territory.

When should 37282 be considered instead?

37282 is for the initial tibial or peroneal artery when the lesion meets the complex classification. Use the documented lesion characteristics and applicable CPT guidance to determine the classification.

Is 37280 the code when a stent or atherectomy is performed?

No. This code describes angioplasty; the tibial/peroneal code family has separate options for stent and atherectomy treatment. Select the code that matches the intervention performed.

How many units are reported when more than one artery is treated?

37280 identifies the initial treated artery, not each artery treated. For a qualifying additional artery, use the corresponding additional-vessel code rather than repeating 37280.

What should the procedure note establish?

Document the tibial or peroneal target artery, lesion classification, angioplasty performed, and whether it was the initial or an additional treated artery.

How does Medicare handle bilateral reporting and other procedures in the session?

CMS pays a bilateral procedure reported with modifier 50 at 150%. The standard multiple-procedure reduction applies when other procedures are performed in the same session.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
